If you read the article linked above, you will find that in a contest to hack into a Mac, a PC, and Linux box, the Mac was the first to fall. In fact, at the time I read the article, the Mac was the only to fall.
Mwahahahahaha!!!!!

Stephen, you're funny. Also, this story is amazing, that someone was able to hack into a Mac in under 2 minutes.
I will probably be buying a PC next time I make a computer purchase. Are their any brands that you recommend in particular?

But consider this comment on the post:
Misleading.

"It's misleading to report that it took him 2 minutes when all the reports are that he worked on this exploit for weeks beforehand. Sure it took him a couple of minutes to execute it - so what?
If we really want to legitimately test the security of these 3 different OS'es - put them on the internet and increase the prize money to compete with what certain government agencies are prepared to pay for this sort of stuff.
They would ALL be knocked over within seconds.
All this comp tells me is someone who spends his time looking for and reporting vuln's found one and waited until this conference to report it.
If you agree with me, add a pointless comment below bitching about how great your choice of OS is over someone elses.
.......mine is the one with woolen mittens hanging out of the sleeves by a piece of wool."
Hmmm... :p
